Jackson looked up from his computer as his mate walked in. “I just got an email from the Council.” He sighed, his heart heavy as he read the accusations and findings of the Inquisitor. Things were worse since he left, and there were things that happened in the shadows that even he wasn’t aware of.
“What did they find?” Elsa asked, feeling the grief radiating from their bond.
“Guilty of rape of the young women in the pack, forced pairings among the omegas, slavery, espionage, and during their hunt they discovered he was planning on attacking your birth pack for helping us escape.” He held his head in shame, to even be related to a monster like that? “The Beta was removed as well, and the Gamma is now being investigated.”
“So, what will happen to the pack?” Elsa worried, do they need to return?&
“I’m not crazy right? Thatisyou, withanIron Man toy? Right?!” She asked again, taking thephotoand looking at it.“Yeah... that is me.” I start, but where do I even begin? How do I know she won’t pass out again after I tell her the truth?“Tellme the truth about what? And what do you mean, pass out???” She looked at me in shock. “What are you keeping from me?!”Oh,shit she is reading my mind now! What do I do??? Should I call Violet in case something else happens???“What has Violet got to do with this?!” She stands up now, more hurt than angry and I felt the guilt hit me like a freight train. “Talk to me!!!” She pleads now and I can barely look her in the eye.“Look I...” I stand up
~Samantha Age 10~Finally, I can eat solid food again! Oh, steak how I have missed you! I do a little happy dance in the hospital bed as the meat nearly melts in my mouth. Doc says I can leave this drab room today too! I heard from the other nurses that the dentist who mangled my teeth left the pack, I felt a tiny bit sorry for him and I told my dad that it wasn’t his fault.ButDaddy assured me that he wasn’t forced out he left on his own.Oh well.I pause as one of my dad’s guards walks in, smiling. “Young Alpha. You’re awake finally!”“Yes sir, Mr. Stevenson! Doc said I could leave today!” I held my arms up high over head as he chuckled and sat on the bed.“Yes, I know. You father called me and asked me to keep an eye on you. They are still away on business together.
Beep...Beep... beepWhat is that? Aww hell, my head! Why is it so bright in here?! I can’t see anything.“Luna?” I hear someone whisper. “He’s waking up! Get the doctor!” I feel someone pulling on me now, and I groan in pain. Don’t touch me... what happened? The lights in the room dim slightly and Iam able tocrack my eyes a little further. A worried nurse’s face is looking at me now. What is going on? I glance down at the tubes and wires running to my body and I groan, I don’t want this on me.“Ben. Hey, Ben.” I hear another voice from the door now, Jess? “Please, you need to keep these on for a little while longer.” My throat is burning with pain, and I have trouble swallowing. How did I get here?! I start to move when the sparks start up my arm and look beside me. Samantha is laying in
I wake up again, pulling my mate closer to me again as I blink and look around. Talking in the hallway is what woke me up. I can hear the seriousness in the Doctor’s voice and the worried comments from my parents and Violet. Bloodwork? They found something in thebloodwork?Is it bad? I am just as shocked when he asked for blood samples from my parents. What is going on?Part of me wants to go to the hall and find out for myself but I am reluctant to leave the bed. For some reason even having her out of my arms is unbearable. Straining myears,I hear them walk down the hallway and I sigh and lay back in the bed. Smiling I dive into my memory and pull up one of us playing in her room. There is that white Gundam again, I wonder what she ever did with it? When she wakes up,I’llask her.Whenever that will be. Rightnow,her thoughts arejumbledtogethe
Samantha POV age 5-6 Benage6-7I laughed as I ran to my parent’s office. Ben is right behind me, my mom said he could hang out all weekend while our dads went to some meeting. “Come on, Ben!” I knock three times and wait, my hand on thedoor knob. My mom said it was rude to open the door before you were told.Finally, she answered. “Come in pups.”I laugh and open the door, running in and going to my mom. “Hey mom! Ben is here!!!”“Yes, baby girl. I have two eyes, two ears, and one nose. I know he is here.” She smirked. “But my question is why is he here in my office?” She looked down at him in an emotionless gaze before smirking and winking at him.“Well, he didn’t believe me! And I told him I’m not a liar!”&nbs
A week later I am waking up. She still hasn’t moved, and I haven’t heard any more mind links from her either. I amreally worried, what if she never wakes up again??? My heart is tight, that can’t happen! Quickly I drive those thoughts away and lookasthe door opens and Violet walks in.“Happy Birthday, Vi.” I say, forcing a smile.She nods and turns her head. “Thanks, Ben.” Her voice was tight, and I could tell she was trying to hold it together. “I just wanted to stop by and check on you and her... see if there were any changes...”“Not really. Sorry.Butthe pain is nearlygone,and she doesn’t feel as drained anymore.” I say, trying to encourage her slightly. “How are you doing? Anything you need me to do?”Violet shook her head. “
“So, we just heard from the Manhattan Pack, they went through their records... it turns out that they were started by a group of werewolves coming to the new land from Europe. Their old pack was destroyed but the Luna was able to escape with her unbornpupand a couple dozen of their pack members. Once they settledhere,they changed their pack name to the ‘New World’ pack and the Luna gave birth to a healthy son here. Looks like this is the end of the line.” Jake started. “The Luna’s son became the alpha and over time due to marriages the original family name was changed.”We paused from the research Jake found by Dr Banner opening the door. “Hello, I’m glad you all are here. There is something troubling I found... can you three please follow me?”I paused and glanced at mymate,I didn’t want to leave her!
“So, you buried this a long time ago?” Nick asked as he sat in Samantha’s lap and smiled when she nodded.“Careful, Buddy. Her throat still hurts.” I say gently, I can feel the stiffness in her joints as she smiles through the pain. <Damn Love, I missed you so much.>She looked at me apologetically. <I’m sorry... but you know how reckless I am.> She smirked.Overhead the skiesclearedand the rain stopped. “Crazymountainweather...” Imuttered, laughing as Samantha reached for theclaspagain. Slowly theclasppoppedand she grinned as I helped her open the lid.The air from years ago greeted us and we all craned our necks inside to see. I laughed as Samantha squealed. “My Gundam!!!” She reached in and pressed the button on its ches
